Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out and fitting it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini slices and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in the corn and the sautéed zucchini.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
